Ethan Katzberg (Canada) hammer 84.38 meters (NR) Nairobi 2024-04-20.

Gerlof Holkema 2024-06-16 | Ethan Katzberg (Canada) hammer 84.38 meters (NR) Nairobi 2024-04-20.
World champion (2023) Ethan Katzberg provided the highlight in the men’s hammer, throwing 84.38m – the farthest mark since 2008 – to move to ninth on the world all-time list.
All five of his valid throws surpassed the previous PB of 81.25m that he set to win the world title in Budapest last year.
The Canadian 22-year-old opened with 81.25m, improved to 82.06m in the second round and then fouled the third.
His fourth throw was 81.50m and then he launched the implement 84.38m on his fifth try before completing his series with 83.26m.
Katzberg started throwing hammer at the age of 14 after watching his father coach his sister in the event, thinking it looked fun.
He initially trained at the Nanaimo Track and Field Club.
Following high school he moved to Kamloops to be trained by new coach Dylan Armstrong, a former Olympic shot put medallist.
Armstrong said of the new talent then that he was "a skinny basketball player when I got him.
What really stuck out, obviously, was his height and his speed. That’s a rare combination. It’s hard to find a fast, tall, co-ordinated guy that may have some interest in throwing — they all go to basketball, football or other sports."
Making his major international tournament debut at the 2021 World Athletics U20 Championships, Katzberg qualified to the hammer throw final but finished last with no valid throws.
He won a silver medal in the hammer throw event at the 2022 Commonwealth Games.
Katzberg enjoyed early success on the international competitive circuit in 2023, notably winning gold when the Diamond League held a promotional mixed-gender hammer throw event at the 2023 Meeting de Paris.
He won his first Canadian national title months later.
Competing in his first world championships in Budapest at the 2023 World Athletics Championships, Katzberg qualified for the finals with the best throw and a national record of 81.18 m (266 ft 4 in). Katzberg threw a 81.25 m (266 ft 6+3⁄4 in) on his fifth throw, setting another new national record and winning the gold medal and world title.[10] Katzberg's victory made him both the youngest ever men’s hammer throw medallist and world champion, and the first Canadian man to win a medal in the event.
His victory ended the reign of five-time world champion Paweł Fajdek, who finished fourth, while he also defeated Wojciech Nowicki, the reigning Olympic champion.
Katzberg was part of a Canadian sweep of the hammer events in Budapest, along with Camryn Rogers' victory in the women's event.
Following the World Championships, Katzberg concluded the year as part of the Canadian team for the 2023 Pan American Games, where he won the gold medal. His winning distance of 80.96 m set a new Games record.

To start his 2024 season, Katzberg threw 84.38 in the men's hammer throw on April 20 at the Kip Keino Classic in Nairobi, Kenya, a new Canadian record and the longest hammer throw by anyone since 2008, moving him to ninth on the all-time list.
PB Hammer throw – 84.38 m (276 ft 10 in) NR (20 April 2024).
Born April 5, 2002 (age 22) Nanaimo, British Columbia.
Height 198 cm (6 ft 6 in).
Weight 107 kg (236 lb).

Gerlof Holkema 2024-06-10 | Instruksjoner sleggekast av Anders Hoff (film av Einar Brynemo) Norge.
Med bilder av tidligere verdensrekordholder Sergej Litvinov .
Einar Brynemo (født Nils Einar Brynemo 7. januar 1947, død 18. juli 2018) var en norsk idrettslærer, sakprosaforfatter og friidrettstrener.
Brynemo var selv en aktiv utøver innen diskos og sleggekast, uten å oppnå notable meritter.
Han ble forbundstrener i Norges friidrettsforbund i 1971 og var aktiv kasttrener på ulike nivåer til 2017.
Han trente den norsk rekordholderen i sleggekast, Richard Olsen i 1980.
Han var Grete Etholms trener i diskos fra slutten av 1990-tallet og gjennom en rekordlang rekke av NM-gull. Utover på 2010-tallet trenge han sleggekasterne Mona Holm, Beatrice Nedberge Llano og ikke minst Eivind Henriksen, som Brynemo fikk følge til OL i London, 2012. Det året ble Henriksen nummer 13, men under OL i Tokyo, 2021 fikk han sølv. I intervjuene etter bragden gav Henriksen mye av æren til sin tidligere trener.
Nedberge Llano ble verdensmester for junior i 2016.
Brynemo var mangeårig lærer, senere avdelingsleder for idrettsfag og kroppsøving ved Kragerø videregående skole. I 2005 gav han ut sin siste idrettsbok, Friidrett for ungdom - innføring i friidrett for unge i alderen 13-17 år sammen med medforfatter Gro Næsheim-Bjørkvik. På 1980-tallet stod han bak en rekke utgivelser om trening innen friidrett.

Han var far til kombinertløper Preben Fjære Brynemo.

Sergey Litvinov’s only disappointment was that his victory was slightly devalued by the absence of Yuriy Sedykh.
The defending champion started the final with a moderate 74.76, but won with his next effort of 83.06.
The battle for the other medals was ferocious.
At the halfway point in the competition, Nikulin’s 79.48 was second with Weis’s 79.02 third.
The order stayed the same in the fourth round, but there were fireworks from round five.
First, Sahner threw 79.50 to overtake Nikulin by the smallest possible margin.
Next to throw, Nikulin responded with 80.18. Weis immediately matched that distance.
Both were then overtaken by Haber, who closed the round with 80.76.
In round 6, Tamm threw 80.84 to move from sixth to second.
Sahner, who had slipped from second to sixth in the space of one round, moved up again to fourth with his final throw.
In all, six men bettered 80m, the most ever.

Al Oerter (USA) discus final 1964 Olympics Tokyo.

Gerlof Holkema 2024-05-29 | Al Oerter (USA) discus final 1964 Olympics Tokyo.
His series: 57.65 - 58.34 - 55.11 - 54.37 -61.00 OR - X (1st place, gold medalist).
Alfred Oerter Jr. (/ˈɔːrtər/; September 19, 1936 – October 1, 2007) was an American athlete and a four-time Olympic Champion in the discus throw.
He was the first athlete to win a gold medal in the same individual event in four consecutive Olympic Games.
Oerter is an inductee of the IAAF Hall of Fame.
Olympic athlete
Oerter was born in 1936 in Astoria, Queens, New York City and grew up in New Hyde Park; he attended Sewanhaka High School in Floral Park.
He began his track and field career at the age of 15 when a discus landed at his feet and he threw it back past the crowd of throwers.
Oerter continued throwing and eventually earned a scholarship to the University of Kansas in 1954 where he became a member of Delta Tau Delta fraternity.
A large man of almost 6' 4" (193 cm) and 280 pounds (127 kg), Oerter was a natural thrower.
Competing for Kansas, he became the NCAA discus champion in 1957; he successfully defended his title the following year.
Oerter began his Olympic career at the 1956 Summer Olympics in Melbourne.
He was not considered the favorite but he felt a rush during the competition and he unleashed a throw of 184 feet 22 inches (56.64 m)—which, at the time, was a career best. The throw was good enough to win the competition by more than 5 inches (130 mm).
In 1957, it seemed that Oerter's career would be over at the age of 20 when he was nearly killed in an automobile accident.
He recovered in time to compete at the 1960 Summer Olympics at Rome, where he was the slight favorite over teammate Rink Babka, who was the world record holder.
Babka was in the lead for the first four of the six rounds.
He gave Oerter advice before his fifth throw; Oerter threw his discus 194 feet 2 inches (59.18 m), setting an Olympic record. Babka settled for the silver medal when he was not able to beat Oerter's throw.
During the early 1960s, Oerter continued to have success and set his first world record in 1962.
In the process, he was the first to break 200 feet in the discus. He was considered a heavy favorite to win a third gold medal at Tokyo in 1964.
Oerter was hampered by injuries before the Games began.
He was bothered by a neck injury that required him to wear a neck brace, and a week before the start of the competition he tore cartilage in his ribs.
Oerter was competing in great pain, but he set a new Olympic standard and won a third Olympic gold medal despite not being able to take his last throw due to the pain from his ribs. He had told the doctors, "These are the Olympics. You die for them".
Oerter returned to the Olympics in 1968 at Mexico City; however, teammate Jay Silvester was cast as the favorite.
Many felt Oerter, who was then 32, could not win the event because he had never thrown as far as Silvester did on his average throws.
At the Olympics, however, Oerter hurled another Olympic record throw of 64.78 metres (212.5 ft) on his third throw.
His record held and he became the first track and field athlete to win gold medals in four consecutive Olympic Games.
This accomplishment would be equaled many years later by fellow Americans Carl Lewis and swimmer Michael Phelps.
Oerter retired from athletics after the 1968 Olympics.
He later eyed a comeback and took anabolic steroids in 1976 under medical supervision in order to put on muscle mass.
However, he stopped the course as this affected his blood pressure and failed to give much improvement on the field.
After this he advised athletes to avoid such drugs and focus on training and technique instead.
He was critical of the increase of drug use and the subsequent testing in track and field, stating that it had destroyed the culture of athlete camaraderie and that the banning of athletes such as Ben Plucknett was merely scapegoating by international officials.
Oerter did make an attempt to qualify for the American team in 1980 but finished fourth.
Personal bests:
DT – 69.47 m (1980).
SP – 17.37 m (1958).
Born September 19, 1936 Astoria, New York, U.S.

His series: 19.61 - 19.55 - 19.34 - 20.33 OR - 19.09 - X (first place GOLD MEDAL).
Dallas Crutcher Long (born June 13, 1940) is a retired American track and field athlete, who mostly competed in the shot put.
Between 1959 and 1964 he set six official and five unofficial world records.
His first was at the 1959 Santa Barbara Easter Relays, the last in 1964 in the USA vs USSR dual meet. Long attended the University of Southern California.
He competed at the 1960 Summer Olympics, where he won a bronze medal behind fellow Americans Bill Nieder and Parry O'Brien.
One of his coaches was Frantisek (Frank) Louda, an American-Czech who had held the European hammer throw record in the 1930s.
Long returned four years later to Tokyo for the 1964 Summer Olympics and won a gold medal. Domestically he won the AAU title in 1961 and the NCAA title in 1960–62.
While a senior at North High School in Phoenix, Arizona, he set the National High School Record in the shot put. He was Track and Field News "High School Athlete of the Year" in 1958.
Long's best mark in the shot put was a then-world record of 20.68 meters (67'10½") set at the U.S.-U.S.S.R. dual meet in 1964.
As of 2020, Dallas lives in Whitefish, Montana with his wife Suzanne.

Randy Matson (USA) SHOT PUT FINAL 1964 Olympics Tokyo.

Gerlof Holkema 2024-05-29 | Randy Matson (USA) SHOT PUT FINAL 1964 Olympics Tokyo.
His series: 18.53 - 19.19 - 19.88 OR - 20.20 OR – X - 19.62 (2nd place SILVER MEDAL).James Randel "Randy" Matson (born March 5, 1945) is an American track and field athlete who mostly competed in the shot put. Matson won a silver medal at the 1964 and a gold medal at the 1968 Olympics.
Early years:
The son of Charles and Ellen Matson, Randy Matson was reared in Pampa, the seat of Gray County in the Texas Panhandle. At the age of twelve, he participated in his first track meet. He won the 50-yard dash, the 100-yard dash, the long jump and the high jump and finished sixth in the shot put. He attended Pampa High School, where he was a three-sport standout in American football, basketball, and track and field. He won All-District football honors, and was a two-time All-District and one-time All-State basketball player, averaging 15 points per game. In track and field, he was a two-time State Champion in both the shot put and the discus and could run the 100 yard dash in 10.2 seconds. This led him to be named an All-State and All-American in track and field. He was Track and Field News "High School Athlete of the Year" in 1963. Matson was also named Track and Field News' Men's Athlete of the Year in 1970.
Amateur career:
Matson is one of the greatest shot putters in the history of the sport, based predominantly on his one meter improvement of the world record in 1965. He attended Texas A&M University, where he continued to work on his shot put skills, and in his first full year of using the heavier college (adult or Senior) shot (16 pounds), Matson won the Olympic Silver Medal in the 1964 Tokyo Olympics.
From 1965 through 1971, Matson entered 79 competitions, winning 73. During a two-month span in 1965 he broke the world record three times, adding over two feet to the previous mark, until it stood at 21.52 m (70 ft 7 in). During this time he had a considerable rivalry with Neal Steinhauer, but usually came out on top.
Matson earned his BBA in marketing from Texas A&M in 1967. He was selected in the 5th round (120th pick overall) by the Atlanta Falcons of the National Football League, and the 11th round (122nd overall) by the Seattle SuperSonics of the National Basketball Association. Matson turned down both opportunities to concentrate on track and field.
Matson improved his world record to 21.78 m (71 ft 5 in) in 1967, and was rewarded with the James E. Sullivan Award, given to the nation's outstanding amateur athlete. He earned the Olympic Gold Medal at the Mexico City Games in 1968, and was named the 1970 Track and Field News Athlete of the Year. He was on the June 1970 and January 1971 covers of Track and Field News.
In 1967 he threw the discus to within three inches (8 cm) of the (then) world record, and was briefly considered as a possible double Olympic champion in shot and discus—like Bud Houser in 1924—but Matson only competed in the shot in Mexico City.[1] On that same day Matson put the shot over 70 feet three times and the discus over 200 feet three times.
He narrowly missed making the 1972 Olympic team when he finished fourth at the Olympic Trials. Matson retired after that contest as the only man who, up to that time, had ever put the shot over 70 feet. He was inducted into the Texas A&M Hall of Fame in 1972, the Texas Sports Hall of Fame in 1974, the National Sports Hall of Fame in 1981, the National Track and Field Hall of Fame in 1984, the National High School Sports Hall of Fame in 1988 and the Texas Track and Field Coaches Hall of Fame in 2012.

Personal Record: 21.78 m (71 ft 5 in).
Olympic Gold Medal, 1968: 20.54 m (67 ft 5 in).

Parry OBrien (USA) SHOT PUT FINAL 1964 olympics Tokyo.

Gerlof Holkema 2024-05-28 | Parry O'Brien (USA) SHOT PUT FINAL 1964 olympics Tokyo.
His series: 18.95 - 18.86 - 19.20 - 18.32 - 18.62 - 18.84 (4th place).
William Patrick "Parry" O'Brien (January 28, 1932 – April 21, 2007) was an American shot put champion. He competed in four consecutive Summer Olympics where he won two gold medals (1952, 1956) and one silver medal (1960). In his last Olympic competition (1964) he placed fourth. For all of these accomplishments, O'Brien was inducted into the IAAF and U.S. Olympic halls of fame.
Biography
Born in Santa Monica, California, Parry was very active in sports at Santa Monica High School, playing end on the football team that won the California state championship in 1948. He was then awarded an athletic scholarship in football to the University of Southern California. He also won the (non-standard for high schoolers) 16-pound shot put competition at the 1949 CIF California State Meet. He also finished in third place that year putting the standard 12-pound shot for high schoolers.
O'Brien enrolled in college at U.S.C., where he continued to play football as a freshman until he was kicked in the stomach during practice and injured. He then decided to concentrate on track and field, for the shot put and the discus throw).
In the early 1950s, O'Brien developed a new method for putting the 16-pound shot. The Los Angeles Times described it:
When O'Brien began throwing the shot, the standard method was to rock back on one leg, swing the other in front for balance, hop forward and propel the iron ball forward. O'Brien instead began by facing the back of the circle. He then turned 180 degrees, using the spin to generate momentum and help him throw the shot greater distances.
Using this method he was able to break the world record in the shot put 17 times, becoming the first man to put the 16-pound shot more than 60 feet, and winning 116 consecutive meets in the shot put. This method became known as "O'Brien Style" or the "O'Brien Glide." He held the world record from 1953 to 1959. During his career he won 18 Amateur Athletic Union championships (combined outdoor and indoor), 17 in the shot put, plus one in the discus. He won nine consecutive national indoor shot put championships, and he won eight overall outdoors, including five in a row.
As a competitor, in addition to developing new techniques for the shot put, he also made motivational tapes for himself, and experimented with Yoga. Time magazine, in a cover story written during the week before the Melbourne Olympics, noted "None has been more successful than O'Brien in combining what he calls "M.A." (mental attitude) and "P.A." (physical aptitude)." He was the first man to retain his Olympic shot put title since Ralph Rose of the United States did so in 1904 and 1908. During the 1960 Summer Olympics, O'Brien won the silver medal in one of the rare track meets that he did not win.
In 1964, O'Brien was the flag bearer for the American Olympic Team at the Tokyo Olympic Games.
O'Brien entered the National Track and Field Hall of Fame of the United States in 1974. Next he was chosen for the U.S. Olympic Hall of Fame in 1984, and then the Univ. of Southern California Athletic Hall of Fame in 1994.
After retiring from senior competitions O'Brien worked in the banking and real estate business in Southern California. He remained active in masters athletics, and he put a six kilogram shot 58'1½ " (17.72 m) at age 50 in 1984. This distance, two feet further than the listed American Masters record in his age division is still pending. Later in the 1990s he began swimming because athletics put too much stress on his joints.
O'Brien died at 75, of a heart attack in the 500 yard freestyle swimming pool at the Santa Clarita Aquatics club while he was competing in a Southern Pacific Masters Association regional swimming competition. He was survived by his wife Terri, stepsons Erik Skorge and Norman Skorge, and daughters Shauna and Erin. O'Brien was previously married to Sandra Cordrey (March 1955) and Arden Arena (June 1960).
